This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is All your eyeballs are belong to us, written , and concerning Uncategorized

According to Jamie Kellner, CEO of Turner Broadcasting (part of the AOL Time Warner conglomerate), skipping adverts when watching a programme is theft.

Kellner states that skipping commercials means that you are "stealing the programming", because you are somehow obliged to watch them as part of your "contract" with the broadcasters -- they provide you with a programme, you agree to see all the crap that advertisers try and foist on you.

Some comments on Kellner''s opinions can be found at LawMeme.

I do not believe that words can express how wrong I find this view of Kellner''s. I really don''t.
